have an unusual tool to deploy for crowd control: 43 liftable road bridges that span urban stretches of river. Officials ordered many to be raised on successive nights this week, to limit access to the city centre after sunset. That followed an outbreak of rioting on August 10th, when looters—some of whom had hired vans for the occasion—flooded to rich central districts and smashed into luxury-goods, electronics and other shops.
Shopkeepers lamented they had only just replaced stock stolen in an earlier round of looting after police killed George Floyd in Minneapolis, in May. Once more a clash with police sparked the uprising. Officers repeatedly shot a young black man in Englewood, on Chicago’s poor South Side, on August 9th. They claimed he had fired at them first, but failed to produce bodycam video footage to prove it.
Across a swathe of larger cities, recent months have seen a strange shift in crime rates. As a result of lockdowns, reports of most violent and non-violent crimes have fallen compared with last year. In contrast, rates of murder and violent assault have surged, especially as temperatures have risen. Gun violence is most prevalent. Last month 105 people were murdered in Chicago alone, its bloodiest month in 28 years.

If I were a right wing group I would infiltrate protests and discredit Police Reform by looting and inciting violence
Cops literally murder black people in broad daylight in front of citizens and bootlickers still come out an Stan for them and the businesses they exist to protect.
Chicago? Have you already forgotten that NYC is quickly being abandoned and falling into chaos? What about the fact that even Oregon State Police have abandoned Portland as a lost cause? Or how about Seattle's police chief quitting due to lack of support from the city council?
Refund the Police!
